Did You Know? ‘Sport’ - The plant will vary markedly from the normal type. It will show bud variation (a bud is a swelling or projection on a plant which develops the off-shoot) and will produce the same variegations as the parent plant. Sports are usually attributable to mutation (see below). Examples of a sport would be Cryptanthus ‘It’ or Aechmea orlandiana cv. ‘Ensign’, or Vriesea ‘Eden Glade’. ‘Mutant’ - A plant with inheritable characteristics that differs from those of the parent. It has undergone sudden mutation. An example would be a plant suddenly producing an offset with one or more characteristics completely different from the original plant and this, in turn, being able to reproduce itself in succeeding generations. When a variegated off-shoot formed on Aechmea Foster’s Favorite (Aechmea Foster’s Favorite Favorite) or among seedlings of Aechmea orlandiana cv. ‘Ensign’, these were mutants or sports, and so was Neoregelia ‘Fosperior Perfection’. ‘Variant’ - The plant is different in some way from the others of the same kind. This could apply to either a sport or a cultivar. Adapted from: Bromeliad Society of New Zealand Journal of February 2003, Vol. 43 No. 2 .

Bromeliads have high diversity 29 throughout the Neotropics, but they have been negatively affected by habitat loss and 30 fragmentation, climate change, herbivorous species invasions, and they are also being 31 commercialized for ornamental use. These plants provide direct benefits to the human 32 society and they also form micro ecosystems in which accumulated water and nutrients 33 support the communities of aquatic and terrestrial species, thus maintaining local 34 diversity. We performed a systematic review of the contribution of bromeliads to 35 ecosystem services across their native geographical distribution.

  • Vanessa Koza Kowalski1,2, Pamella Paula Diniz Alves Pereira1, Fernanda Maria Cordeiro De Oliveira1, Maria Eugênia Costa1 & Rosangela Capuano Tardivo1
    Rodriguésia 67(2): 427-435. 2016 http://rodriguesia.jbrj.gov.br DOI: 10.1590/2175-7860201667213 Are the wing’s cells alive? Study case in Vriesea trichomes As células da ala são vivas? Estudo de caso em tricomas de Vriesea Vanessa Koza Kowalski1,2, Pamella Paula Diniz Alves Pereira1, Fernanda Maria Cordeiro de Oliveira1, Maria Eugênia Costa1 & Rosangela Capuano Tardivo1 Abstract The presence of peltate foliar trichomes is one of the main anatomical characteristic of Bromeliaceae. These complex structures are adapted to compensate water and nutrient absorption in species that have reduced or substrate and light-reflection independent roots. They have enabled species’ survival in diverse and extreme environments contributing to the wide distribution of this family. In the present work, we analyzed the peltate trichomes’ characteristics in three taxa of Vriesea (Tillandsioideae): Vriesea platynema var. platynema, V. platynema var. variegata and V. tijucana. Leaves in different developmental stages were analyzed with histochemical tests and Transmission Electron Microscopy. Main results include the presence of cytoplasmic content in the wing peripheral cells, as well as in mature leaves. This is the first register of the presence of such feature in this family, which brings the possibility of discussing how water can be absorbed by these cells. Key words: Anatomy, Tillandsioideae, absorptive trichomes. Resumo Uma das principais características anatômicas de Bromeliaceae é a presença de tricomas foliares peltados. Estas complexas estruturas adaptadas à compensação da absorção de água e alimento em espécies com raízes reduzidas ou independentes do substrato e reflexão da luz, possibilitaram a vida em ambientes diversos e extremos, contribuindo para a ampla distribuição desta família.

A total of 32 members attended the meeting. Apologies were given for seven members. Ron mentioned that Rosemary Dalton had had a second operation and was on the mend. Laurie Mountford had also recovered. General Business Ross reminded the meeting that DVD’s containing Newsletters from various Groups and Societies from around Australia were available from the library. The disks are updated monthly. Also, with the author’s permission, member’s articles and photos used in our Newsletters and/or for presentations, would be retained by the library. Both Trish’s and Debbie’s originals have been filed. A copy of Derek Butcher’s (Uncle Derek) latest Tillandsia disk is now in the library. The issue of labelling sales and raffle broms was mentioned again (see p3, FNCBSG(NSW) Newsletter, March 2012). A much repeated discussion on label- ling followed. Ross pointed out that the whole idea of labelling is to make ones life easier, especially when you want to replace lost plants or plants you wish to obtain. You are not expected to remember all the names just retain the tags. In regard to library books, please ensure that the borrowing cards are filled out correctly when borrowing, and that your name is crossed out when the book is returned.

CEP: 22460-030 E-mails: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT High altitude grasslands occur at higher elevations of the Atlantic Forest and are rich in species and endemism. Bromeliaceae is one of the most diverse plant families of the Atlantic Forest, however its floristics and distribution is poorly investigated in this type of vegetation. In this study, we carry out an inventory of the family for the Caparaó National Park, an important protected area of southeastern Brazil, due to its high species richness and endemism, where a representative area of high altitude grassland is found. We also provide data on the species distribution in different habitats and at different elevations, species frequency and also implications for conservation. We recorded 12 genera and 46 species of Bromeliaceae, three of them new occurrences for Espírito Santo state: Aechmea lilaci- nantha, Neoregelia brownii, and Vriesea paraibica. Species richness of bromeliads was higher in the riparian forest and lower in the high altitude grassland. The highest richness was found between 900-1,300m where riparian forest is found.
